MS-DOS was officially end-of-lifed by MS so I don't see the harm.  We certainly 
don't have a problem distributing obscure OSes, tape loaders, and CPM so why 
should DOS be any different?

I think IBM's PC DOS 2000 (I think that's the name) is still current, though.

Mark:  Email me off-list with how I can get the diskette images to you; I have 
PC DOS 3.3 in 720K format, perfect for the PS/2 Model 30.
